If it's somewhat close and I am free when you decide to get some of the work done that you spoke of on MFA borads, I would be more than happy to join and help give back to the sport! Thanks so much!

All are going to be pricey. There is a Red Roof in in Watsonville that may be a little more affordable. Let me know if you need more options.

Clubs are just a few. The Nomination Station is where you nominate friends (or yourself) for a randomly picked MAJOR AWARD. And don't forget to download and vote for the Peace Dude Flyer, making certain to post it at the courses, the disc golf stores, on all your friends front doors and 2 on your medicine cabinet mirror.

Check "my bag" from time to time to hear some fun music, read my goofy blogs, see some killer disc designs and other offerings by michiganartist and watch for great ideas that will change the world. Let's start with a little thing like peace for all and a disc golf course within walking distance for every human inhabitant worldwide. . . Now get your discs, get to the nearest course and godiscn ! Cheers from the michiganartist, lil charlie bishop, craig or you may in fact, call me god@godiscn.com, if you like.
